LTTng on Tilera

Kernel tracing on the Tilera TileGx platform has been improved. Tracing of syscall has been added and sent for inclusion in mainline kernel. A few bugs in LTTng were exposed by using it on a different architecture.
Relevant commits (this one and few parents): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile.git;a=commit;h=8662231ab21b865a6aa841ed85fb67f299701235
Started reading about possible optimization paths for tracing on many core platforms.
